God, I miss the Hitch. His response here to Shirley Williams and the question whether Salman Rushdie should’ve got a knighthood is a class act that no other pundit or thinker have managed or ever will manage to reach. pic.twitter.com/FzCVusR01v— Ben Brittain (@BenABrittain) August 13, 2022

I misread the title of this entry at first—saw an “e” where there’s a “g”. Gave me quite a scare!
